Do you have any mint lovers in your life? I absolutely love mint and I can never get enough of it. It is to the point I have started to grow it in my garden, just so that I can have some fresh and accessible whenever I need it! I clearly knew I needed to share my dairy free mint chocolate chip ice cream recipe so that you too could enjoy some healthy mint in your life!Finding a great dairy free ice cream that does not taste overwhelmingly like pureed coconut with a lacking flavor profile of anything else can be a treasure hunt if you allow it to be! We ended up saying "No thanks!" to that headache this summer and decided to make our own ice cream!I crave mint the most during the summer time. Mint is known for its "cooling and soothing" health properties and benefits. This herb has so many more benefits than most people are aware of traditionally. Making a healthy sweet treat, like this dairy free mint chocolate chip ice cream, can do just the trick of cooling and soothing symptoms in your life!

You may have noticed that we have quite a few episodes that are focused on children and ways to improve their health. In fact, it saddens me that there are so many children out there who are suffering from conditions with little understanding of why it is happening. This is why we keeping bringing up the topic about ways to make children healthy again.I focus on children a lot because they aren't in the best position to know what's best for themselves. They go off of what they have been taught, so it is important as adults that we stay up to date with why each generation is getting sicker.A common theme that you may have heard between episodes is that the food we are eating is not the best for children, or even adults. Processed foods are stripped of nutrients, sanitized in ways we don't want to know about, and are designed to make us snack more often.

If you're looking for an easy meal with a spicy kick, look no further than our Instant Pot Mexican Chicken Soup! With Cinco de Mayo right around the corner, a lot of us have our heads in the clouds, eager for the excuse to eat extra Hispanic food and drink more tequila than normal this weekend.Just remember Cinco de Mayo is NOT a traditional Mexican holiday, so don't be surprised if your Hispanic friends roll their eyes a little at you.All of my friends know I'm addicted to Mexican food already and have a ton of respect for traditions and culture, so I just use the "holiday" as an excuse to indulge more freely and make fun recipes.

No one likes dry meat right? This Maple Ham recipe is guaranteed to be anything but dry! If you haven't had a chance to test out an Instant Pot in your kitchen, I definitely recommend looking into one as all of the holiday sales are right around the corner! Every single item I put in my Instant Pot to cook comes out tender and flavorful...and it's like a crockpot. Once I set the timer, it does all the work for me and I don't even have to think about dinner again until it's cooked! Talk about an awesome product to have in your kitchen, especially during the holidays. If you're a multi-tasker like me, you definitely don't want to have to stand over your dinner and watch it cook while an hour or sometimes more dwindles away.

I was a picky eater growing up, and to be honest I never tried biscuits and gravy until I was about 19. Once I finally tried it, it was obvious why this was a popular breakfast option. With the rich buttery biscuits and the savory flavor of the gravy, it is a meal that is hard to mess up. Lucky for me, I only just delved into the world of B&G at such a late stage because it probably would have made it much more difficult to switch over to Paleo Biscuits and Gravy.

I don't know about you, but when it is really warm out, the last thing I want is something hot. It is partly due to my fiery constitution, and also due to the fact that food is a metabolic stimulator. This time of year, I tend to lean towards foods and drinks that are cooling and refreshing, such as Strawberry Lemonade.

If you are wanting whipped cream, you might as well make sure you are getting some beneficial nutrients from it. This coconut whipped cream version is paleo and vegan friendly, and provides the body lots of healthy fats to use for energy!

I don't know about you, but sometimes when I wake up, I just don't have the desire to cook a fancy breakfast. No one ever said that we have to make meals like eggs benedict every single day, and quite frankly that doesn't sound like a fun way to relax in the morning. Usually I like to keep my meals simple in the morning, and this Baked Ham and Eggs recipe definitely fits the category!

If you are looking for a bread option that is paleo friendly, look no further than this Chocolate Avocado Bread. It has lots of healthy fats with minimal amount of sugar, but definitely hits the right spots!

Now that we are getting closer to summer, you may notice that strawberries are becoming cheaper in the stores. One of my favorite sweet flavor combinations is strawberries and banana, so it isn't too far fetched to incorporate these into a breakfast muffin. Hence the name, Strawberry Banana Muffins!You may be wondering if this recipe would be too sugary to still be paleo, but with all the seeds, nuts, eggs, and extra collagen this meal still has more protein and fat than sugar. It is overall a little on the sweeter side, which is why I labeled it as a breakfast or dessert option!

In our Banana Nut Pancakes recipe, we use almond flour as a gluten free source for the batter. Also, the gelatin and banana helps to thicken the batter to make it similar to a pancake consistency you are familiar with.
